My deadlift grip
Today I was doing 315 for 5 reps, which I haven't done before, mostly because I was still experimenting w/ pulling sumo or conventional (chosen sumo, seems to work better for me). My question is, before I was using a double pronated grip, but just recently I tried using a left supinated & right pronated grip and I can pull more this way; the only problem (if it's a problem) is that I feel it more in my left shoulder now that it's supinated. Is it likely that this may be because I don't have my left shoulder pulled all the way back, or is it normal to feel it in you shoulder? Any answers would be appreciated guys, thanks.
Been out the game for a little while, but jumpin back in

This seems like something kind of specific; try videotaping yourself if you have a camera or a phone. Pull your traps together maybe, look up.
Oh, and don't forget to switch your grip up, either from set to set or if you're doing low reps you can quickly switch it rep after rep.Stats: 11/15/07-First-meet--2nd Meet----3rd meet

Yes, using a mixrd grip affects your back and shoulders. Try switching around which is over/under and it'll be fine.

One way feels very unnatural to me too. I use the comfortable way for max attempts and either switch grips between sets, or pull double-overhand on lighter stuff.
